Planning For Paradise

So you want to take a trip to paradise with your spouse. It would be romantic to say that paradise is any day you’re together. It would be romantic – but it probably wouldn’t help you get the most out of your vacation. The truth is that even the most laid-back of travelers can benefit from a little bit of planning. Worrying about the details now means you don’t have to waste precious vacation time that could be better spent relaxing, romancing, and renewing. To help, we’re sharing some of our favorite planning resources and tips.

Getting There

These days, travel is often as simple as asking your phone how to get somewhere. But this small travel tip will keep you on the right path no matter what: download your maps offline. You’ll keep the convenience of a map in your pocket, but won’t have to worry about international data, or bad signal.

Have a little time to plan your journey? Set up flight alerts! Online price tools will tell you when flights to your destination go down so you can book the best trip at the lowest fare. Some of the most popular are: Sky Scanner, Google Flights, Airfarewatchdog, and Kayak.

Discover Your Destination

Do the research! This will not only help you acclimate to your destination’s culture, but can be a fun way to get excited for the trip. Wikitravel is a great place to get started and learn everything from how to get around, to what to eat, see, or do.

It’s usually easier to explore fun things to do ahead of time, so you’re not spending valuable trip time deciding which you’re interested in. On top of that, if you’re going on a cruise or a guided tour, special excursions tend to fill up in advance. Spend a little time getting to know the possibilities so you have more time to enjoy them later.

Packing

Packing light is made possible with two tools in your belt. First, the question, “Do I need this?” which you should ask of every piece going into your suitcase. Second, with a list. Mapping out the necessities will not only help you remember everything, it’ll keep extras from sneaking their way into your bag. This website offers a handy guide to get you started and keep you organized.

Take pictures of your suitcase and its contents before you hand it over to the airline. It’ll make recovery a much easier process, if you have the bad luck to go through it.
